1, up the hill
This is Du Fu's masterpiece in his later years. From the perspective of Qiu Jiang, this poem tells the poet's complicated feelings of long-term wandering, old illness and loneliness. The full text is as follows:
The wind is fast and high, the ape cries sadly, and the birds are circling in the white sand. The endless trees are rustling leaves, and the Yangtze River is rolling unpredictably.

2. "The hut was broken by the autumn wind"
This is an ancient poem written by Du Fu in his later years. The whole poem introduces the tragic living environment of the poet in his later years, but even in the harsh environment, the poet still cares about the world, which reflects the poet's deep love for the country. Excerpts from the article are as follows:
In an instant, the wind will set the color of the clouds and ink, and the autumn will be bleak and dark. This cloth has been as cold as iron for many years, and Joule has been lying down and cracking. There is no dry place in the bedside table, and the feet are numb with rain. What's the point of getting wet all night?
There are tens of millions of buildings in Ande, which greatly protect all the smiles of the poor in the world, and the wind and rain are as quiet as mountains. Oh! When I suddenly see this house in front of me, I will freeze to death alone!
3. "Hope of Spring"
This poem was written at the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, when Chang 'an City fell. Facing the chaotic situation at that time, Du Fu wrote this famous five-character poem, expressing the poet's thoughts and feelings of worrying about the country, hurting the world and homesickness. The full text is as follows:
Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested. Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate.
The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold. Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin.
4. Shu Xiang
This is Du Fu's famous poem about history and nostalgia. This poem expresses the poet's praise to Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han Dynasty, for his dedication to his country after his death, and his regret for his early start by visiting the temple of Zhuge Wuhou. This is the swan song in the poems praising Zhuge Liang in past dynasties. The full text is as follows:
Where is the temple of the famous prime minister? It is in a deep pine forest near the Silk City. The steps are dotted with green grass in spring, and birds are chirping happily under the leaves.
The third call aggravated his state affairs, and he gave his sincerity to two generations. But before he conquered, he died, and since then the heroes have been crying on their coats.
